RO127993A2 - Method for simulating the interventions of rescue squads in toxic/explosive/inflammable environments - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for testing the staff participating in simulating the interventions of rescue squads in toxic/explosive/inflammable environments. According to the invention, the method consists in entering and storing the particulars of a person to be tested into a database program, selecting the field of activity of said person, mining industry or surface industry, depending on which there is generated a set of questions, and depending on the selected activity field optionally there can be visualized chapters of the course support, then running the testing proper for 30 minutes during which the person being tested must answer a set of 30 text-questions which may be accompanied by an image or short video clip, and at the end of the testing there is generated an examination report, the person being tested is declared admitted if he/she had correctly answered 24 questions.

Description

The invention relates to the realization of a method that allows the simulation of scenarios regarding the interventions of the rescue formations in toxic / explosive / inflammable environments as well as the testing of the personnel participating in these simulations regarding the way of solving the proposed situations, the expert system allowing the highlighting. of improperly resolved scenarios.

At present, at national and international level, there is no method based on an expert system to simulate rescue interventions in toxic / explosive / flammable environments.

The methods currently used in training and testing the intervention and rescue personnel in toxic / explosive / flammable environments have disadvantages in that they require a longer period of time required for these activities and the use of more human and material resources.

The problem solved by the invention is the development and implementation of a method that leads to the elimination of the disadvantages presented and follows the possibility of achieving the specific unanimously recognized wishes, respectively:

- increasing safety in rescue actions;

- prevention of individual and collective work accidents;

- increasing the state of safety and health at work, as well as a more effective protection of the heritage that could be destroyed or immobilized by damage or accidents.

The method also has the following advantages:

- performance - expert systems do not lose their knowledge over time, being able to work uninterruptedly;

- reproduction - many copies of an expert system can easily be made while creating new human experts is often a long and expensive process;

- efficiency - lead to very low test costs, which can be easily multiplied; development costs can be shared by multiple users;

- consistency - similar actions are handled in the same way; it is not influential in drawing conclusions, being very objective as opposed to human experts who may be subjective;

- documentation - an expert system can provide permanent documentation of the proposed scenarios;

- working speed - due to the power offered by the computing systems a conclusion can be drawn in a very short time;

The method applied within the expert system will be performed according to the algorithm presented in the logic diagram of figure 1.

The structure of this scheme will be of linear type and graphically presents the logical sequence of the processing, combining in a vertical order the types of structures of the algorithm.

The logic scheme starts with the registration of the tested person in the program database.

The database of the program will be designed to allow the following information to be entered:

- name and surname of the person tested;

- the name of the economic agent where the person carries out his activity;

- profession of the person tested;

- Authorization number of rescue personnel (if applicable);

- the age of the person tested.

The next step is to choose the field of activity of the person tested

- extractive (underground) or surface industry - depending on which set of questions will be generated.

For the surface industry there will be a sub-menu that allows the customization of the activity fields, such as:

- petrochemical industry

- metallurgical industry

- the energy industry

- food industry

- transport, etc.

Before starting the test, the program allows, depending on the type of activity field chosen, to view the chapters in the chosen course support.

Thus, for the extractive industry (underground) the following chapters can be viewed:

- Definition and principles of intervention and rescue activity in toxic / explosive / flammable environments;

- Normative regarding the organization of the intervention and rescue activity at industrial units with potential danger of toxic and / or explosive gas emissions;

- Compressed oxygen-based breathing protection insulation devices;

- First aid;

- Toxic / explosive / flammable atmospheres;

- Mining damage and methods to combat them;

- Intervention of rescue teams for the extractive industry;

- Regulations for intervention of rescue formations for the extractive industry;

For the surface industry the following chapters can be viewed:

- Definition and principles of intervention and rescue activity in toxic / explosive / inflammable environments;

- Normative regarding the organization of the intervention and rescue activity at industrial units with potential danger of toxic and / or explosive gas emissions;

- Compressed air based insulating breathing apparatus;

- First aid;

- Rescue teams intervention for the surface industry;

- Regulations for intervention of rescue formations for the surface industry;

Viewing these chapters is not mandatory.

The actual test run stage is allocated as effective working time of 30 minutes, during which time the tested person must answer a set of 30 questions, randomly generated from the complex database of the program.

Each question will have three answer variants, of which the correct one may be only one variant, two variants, three variants or even no variants.

During the test you can go back to any of the above questions.

Each question will be in text form, which can be accompanied by an image or a short video clip.

At the expiration of the time allocated for 30 minutes or at the end of the 30 questions, the test person will be sent an examination report.

The tested person is declared admitted if he answers at least 24 questions correctly.

The examination report will include:

- the name of the person tested;

- field of activity;

- the unit where it operates;

- date of testing;

- total number of questions;

- number of correct answers;

- number of incorrect answers;

- option to view the wrong answers and the correct variants of the questions;

- the time used to pass the test;

- test result (admitted / rejected);

- the name of the person who supervised the test.

Claims (1)
